The color red helps certain plants produce more crops.
I'm going to need to see some kind of verification on this.
There is a lot of info on this. A Rainbow of Colors to Increase Yields
I had not heard this before but I do have a variety of colors of carpet I am using for mulch in my garden. It just so happens that my wife planted tomatoes in the red / maroon carpet this year. We had the best tomato crop ever this time. The plants put on so many tomatoes that they would not stand up even with those tomato cages on them. We took our patio chairs out there & laid the branches across them & used them as bracing to keep the cages from buckling falling over because two of the cages did bend an fell over. My parents & friends all had failed tomato crops this year even in their topsy turvy planters. As a side note the one cucumber & 2 watermelon plants in the red section died. I think I hit them to hard with fertilizer 2 days before. The remaining watermelon plants were in the mottled golden/green/brown carpet section & they produced the best watermelons I have grown to date.
Another thing people say & we have learned is true over the years is to not plant near a walnut tree. The walnuts will poison & kill many garden plants especially tomatoes. Even if the walnut tree is far away & a squirrel brings a walnut or 2 into the tomato patch, the tomato plants next to the walnut will get sick & wither. Squirrels & rabbits are always hell on the garden & fruit trees in general. For the last 2 years since we have been using used carpet on the garden they have not bothered anything in there. They have continued to destroy the fruit on the fruit tree orchard where we do not used carpeting. I do not know why this is so.
All I know is that my FREE USED CARPET GARDEN has out produced my friends & extended families gardens for the 2 years I have been doing it. I now do nearly no work in the garden & they are out there spending money, weeding, tilling & fussing over theirs. I have grown the best garden I have ever grown with carpet & spent the least & done the least work on it ever.
